As always, the Bulgarian Java community will have exciting times during the autumn. After the successful first edition of the jPrime conference, the rockstars from the industry will be visiting our country between 2nd and 4th November for Java2Days. This will be the 7th edition of the conference. More than 70 sessions given by more than 60 speakers are expected. There will be tracks for experts, experienced specialists, beginners and kids; Free track; hands-on-labs; demo and relax zone and more. We are happy to announce that the Bulgarian JUG will as always take active part in the event. We got a few of our talks accepted: “Where do we go after Http 1.1 – Http2”, by Mihail Stoynov “Writing Java stored procedures in Oracle Database 12c” and “Spring RabbitMQ integration”, by Martin Toshev “Action based MVC in Java EE? Yes, we do!”, hands on lab by Nayden Gochev and Ivan St. Ivanov We are even happier that our user group will get its booth next to Vitosha hall in Inter Expo Center. There you’ll have the chance to meet us and hear about our future plans and initiatives. As well as do a lot of hacking. Our big idea is to complete the JBoss Forge addon for Spring Boot that we started this summer. See you at...

We would like to invite you to a new conference. The stage is yours! The name of the conference will be jProfessionals, it is meant to be a local Bulgarian conference with mostly, but not only, Bulgarian speakers. You will have a full day of different Java related topics and its first edition will be on 22nd of November in Sofia. The conference will be fully community driven, its sponsors will be basically every Bulgarian Java User Group sponsor for 2015 (SAP Labs, EPAM, Luxoft, Trader.bg, Questers, Verint Systems and TechHuddle). This will not be an annual conference, instead we plan to make mini conference like that every 3-4 months! So if you want to give it a try as a speaker or if you want to propose a nice topic, but you are not sure about the interest and scared from the big stage like jPrime, then this conference is for you! The talks slots depend on you! You can speak the regular 45 minutes or you can speak 1 hour and 15 minutes if you like. Just let us know how much time you need (between 0:45h and 1:30h). You can submit your talk at BG JUG CFP page https://jug.bg/submit-a-talk/ . Just add in the description the talk duration with the description and specify that this is for jProfessionals and not for the regular monthly JUG seminars. Lets make a bigger and better Java community, lets meet, lets talk, lets discuss and make 22th of November an awesome Sunday.
